Question

What types of paper can i recycle in MD and how to start a food waste compost?

Answer 1

Check the Md department of the Enviroment.. They'ed be the best source of any information on recycling and compost

Answer 2

also, looking into starting a worm garden.  you can shove a ton of non-recyclable paper in with them to chomp down and turn into compost....along w/dust, hair, food, clippings etc.  There are several sites where you can buy the red worms for it...and even more places you can either buy the container or learn how to build your own.   Just google it.

Answer 3

Hey, Composting is REAL easy. The easiest way to compost is to use both browns (leaves, hay, paper, or things high in carbon) and greens (grass clippings, vegetative waste, i.e. any kitchen scraps). You want to keep your ratio around 50:50 or a little more browns than greens. Don't worry about it if you don't have a lawn or leaves, your organic waste will still decompose, just at a slower rate of decomposition. When you start a pile you want to add both the browns and greens, mix well & hydrate until moist (if you would pick it up and squeeze it then water would drip from your hand).

Also, be sure to turn your pile every 3-5 days.

Good luck!

Answer 4

the worst you can do is throw it with the trash

70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .

and it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground

and it is the easiest to take care of

o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid

if you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell

the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull blck soil for the garden of flower pots .

if you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,

and add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist

this rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full

got a compost heap in the garden for 6 years ,have added tons of banana poles ,and palm leaves at times tree trunks ,the mountain goes up and down and never seems to get any bigger ,the stuff rots and becomes a very fine black compost of high density

cardboard can be recycled as a seperate item

so can news papers

toilet paper can go on the compost

office papers can be recycled
